| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI use for several asset types, including images and music, so some shipped content is AI-generated. The developer has only one game, not yet released, with no volume-release pattern. Story-rich adventure tags and no live generation suggest human-led development. Against: AI touches multiple asset types (art, audio, text), which could push scope higher, but the disclosure frames these as supporting uses and the game is not yet released. |
